Sun's outer magnetic field mapped in 3D for the first time
A team of researchers has created a 3D map of the sun's outer magnetic field for the first time. The new estimates include the area beyond the visible edge of the sun and could improve predictions of solar activity. This global mapping is a step towards more accurate models of solar events.
Why it's good news: It will help scientists better predict extreme space weather that can impact our critical technologies on Earth.
The science section covers breakthroughs in medicine, physics, biology, and technology. We surface discoveries that expand what humanity can do, from new treatments reaching clinical trials to engineering feats that seemed impossible a decade ago. Every link goes to the original publisher so you can read the full study or press release yourself.
